    Happy plate with steak
    Mion B.

    *Very Satisfying* Mi Padres was the fastest but delicious lunch experience. The host was so accommodating when I requested to sit outside. I had the happy plate: Mexican rice with steak topped with queso & a strawberry margarita. Before the rain.. it was very pleasant, sunny & peaceful outside. There's free chips, salsa & bean dip prepared before your meal. This spot is on bluebonnet, right across from Perkins Rowe! I can't wait to try their desserts!

    We decided to hit the place up for lunch yesterday. It hit the spot but I'm not sure about going back. The ambiance was nice and quiet. The service was good but could have been better as well as the food. It left us both with huge belly aches for several hours. As if the prices wasn't bad enough we felt tortured for the rest of the day. My mango margarita didn't even make it on my board of places with the best margs. Lunch was $85 no thanks!

    Favorites and dessert menu

    We were in the area, and this looked like a decent place to try. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted and seated. Chips, salsa (very good salsa), and refried black bean dip were brought to the table. Mexican music is playing over the speakers, giving you a good vibe. Our server was awesome and made sure we didn't want anything. My wife had the quesodilla along with the grilled veggies and loved it. I had rhe brisket enchiladas and while it was good. I expected it to be more. The brisket was dried out shreds of beef. No brisket flavor. Overall, the place was pretty good. We even got a 20% discount for checking in on Yelp.

    Beef Burrito
    Lori W.

    First time here. When we walked in, there were a total of 3 couples in the restaurant. We had 2 servers tell us they would be right with us then one went to the back and never came back and the other went over to a couple and just propped up and carried on a conversation with them. Had a cook come out and see us and went to tell someone we were there. Ordered queso as an appetizer and never received it. I had the beef burrito and it was ok at best. BF had the happy plate and he said it was lacking in flavor. I asked for a drink menu and was told "we have margaritas" so I had to settle for that and it was alright but not the best. I don't think we will be back.

    Single Mixed Grill
    Lisa J.

    The mixed grill is lovely! Food came out hot and fresh each time I dined in. The single fajita comes with plenty of fixings, and the house made tortillas might be my favorite part. Complimentary chips and dips are almost always delivered as soon as you are seated. The restaurant has some modern touches like the blue lamp lighting my photos.

    Strawberry Margarita
    Marina H.

    Cute little date night spot. We loved the way the place was decorated inside. The food was good, salsa was very flavorful. We got the fajitas for one with steak and chicken. It was plenty enough for the both of us. We loved how the tortillas are freshly made everyday.... But I didn't like how the chicken and steak wasn't more cut up. The cheese dip tasted good but got thick very quickly. Other than that, the strawberry margaritas were delicious and our waiter was great!

    We loved our server. He was helpful, cheerful, and prompt. Nice guy who was studying nutrition at the university,

    We have been regular customers here weekly for over two years…read more Jim Uridales goes out of his way to cook the most delicious cuisine in our area. There are many choices on the menu. Tonight I got Spanish coffee and a chili relleno. The Spanish coffee is an alcohol drink that can be used as a dessert. Yummy! The chili rellenllo was filled with dellicious ground seasoned beef. It has a coating and is deep fried. The pulled pork quesadillas are so yummy- this is what my hubby got tonight. I like the way the seating is here. There are booths and tables and all are comfortable. Though you may be sitting near another table, the acoustics are such that others talking are not bothersome. This is a pet peeve for me- many times I would rather eat at home - but here, the restaurant here feels like our family now. They are known for their delicious margaritas; but the bar can mix most any drink . I love Mestizos, the yummy food and varied menu mmm is the word! My husband and I are self proclaimed foodies. We love most everything on their menu. The chefs Dad owned a Mexican restaurant in Baton Rouge for years- " Carlos" Uridales inspired his son, Jim, to open his own restaurant. Mestizos has been in business for over 25 years. Jim Uridales and his crew are also benevolent members of Baton Rouge and they are a service oriented group of professionals. The menu prices are slightly higher on some items, however, scallops with shrimp here are very delicious and perfectly browned in a buttery flavored manner and this menu item sells for 30 dollars and it's the most costly entree on the menu. Their tapas menu is more budget friendly and delicious. I urge you to try this delicious menu for yourself. We love their catering department too!

    Update. 2026. I mean, Jim Urdiales, the owner chef, is a friend. We were on the same culinary tour…read moreof the Yucatán. But this lunch is absolutely delicious. Mark Twain, or someone was famous for saying that the coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. And today I say with absolute sincerity (but slightly tongue in cheek), that the best meal I ever had in Mexico City was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. If Michelin ever gives stars in Baton Rouge, Mestizo should on the list. Try the scallops in mole verde and the salmon in mole pistachio.

    We came on a Sunday, and I got a delicious brunch!…read more The restaurant wasn't busy for an early lunch, so we got seated right away. Immediately upon walking in, I loved all of the colors and the vibes of this Mexican restaurant. When you sit down, they bring chips and salsa to your table. I wasn't a huge fan of the salsa or the chips. The chips had some seasoning on them and to me, it didn't mix well with the salsa. The salsa was really thin, and I prefer a chunky salsa with a salted thick chip lol. I was feeling adventurous and got the French toast on the brunch menu. It was delicious! The berry compote and the two different syrups paired really well with it. The bacon that it came with was perfection. I ate every last bite. I did have a bite of my friends tacos, and they were good but on smaller side in my opinion. Our waitress was great and there were plenty of tvs to watch while we waited. But, we never waited long for anything!

    I've been coming here since they first opened, and while I've noticed the food quality has dipped…read moreslightly from those early days, it remains a solid choice for Tex-Mex in BR. This is definitely Tex-Mex rather than traditional Mexican, but it hits the spot if that's what you're craving. The real standout is the decor and ambiance, especially after renovating and expanding. It's a fantastic space to hang out and chitchat with friends over dinner. The service has always been great and efficient for me. I can't remember the server I often got - maybe Joshua? Their yearly Cinco de Mayo party is also always fun and a vibe! Overall, still a solid spot in Baton Rouge for Tex-Mex and close to LSU campus.
